Poem Commentary

Part one of a two set poem. I wrote this to a friend in class during a moment of mania. My teacher thought that I was depressed so I wrote a sequel to it called "Ascent" to complete the set.

Descent

    Falling, falling, falling, feeling oh so high!
    Feathers streaming past us as we happily die!
    We fly! We fly!
    Like grand eagles in the sky!
    No longer to be chained to the earth that bore us
    To meld with the sea rebelliously roaring in chorus
    Smiling we barrel through the dark ocean waters
    Sinking ever faster, on the edge conscience falters

    Beyond we sleep.
    Beyond they weep.
    The pressure around us leaches as the blood our mouth breaches,
    But our arms remain out of reach.

    Falling, falling, falling, inversely from the sky
    Bubbles streaming, we feel so very high!
    Feathers streaming bouyously, dancing as we die!
    Smiling happily, enjoying the memorial flight.

Thank you for the comment! I like to express my thoughts and emotions through poetry rather than speech, and I find myself inspired by things that pull my emotions one way or another.

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
